Jane Klingberg

Jane Klingberg is a licensed counselor with 27 years of experience who uses Trauma-Focused Therapy together with practical, person-centered methods. She emphasizes clear, manageable steps and a calm approach to help people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, or struggles with self-esteem.

In sessions she invites people to tell their story and be heard without judgment. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on skills that can be used between appointments. Exercises can include grounding techniques, mindfulness practices, and ways to reframe unhelpful thoughts so daily life feels more doable.

Her work blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered ways of meeting people where they are. That mix is used to reduce distress, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen communication skills. Therapy also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and life purpose.

Jane draws on long experience to help people make gradual changes at their own pace. She aims for sessions that are practical and easy to understand. People leave with specific tools and clear next steps.

She practices in Wisconsin and conducts therapy in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How these approaches can work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to help people process distressing events and reduce their daily impact through focused conversations and coping skills. It often uses grounding, pacing, and gradual exposure to memories or triggers so those things feel less overwhelming over time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-based action and simple exercises to build a life that matters despite difficult emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical steps to change patterns that feed anxiety or depression. That can include short homework, thought records, and behavior experiments to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit those needs. The plan can adapt over time as progress is made.

If you want online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and let people practice skills where they live. It can also allow shorter check-ins when days are tight or let someone avoid being on camera when that helps them focus.
